Loan extended for young midfielder from Mansfield Town

Mansfield Town midfielder Jack Thomas has extended his loan at Hednesford Town by a further month.

The 18-year-old has put in some impressive performances whilst playing for the side since joining the team in December with a fantastic half-volley on Saturday helping them to a 2-2 draw at Worcester City.

Hednesford currently sit in 6th position in the Vanarama Conference North Table.

Mansfield town manager Adam Murray said: “He’s absolutely flying – we’ve watched him a few time and he’s taken to it like a duck to water.”

“The manager at Hednesford is strict and demanding and his move there was done with the purpose of pushing Jack to new limits within men’s football.”

He added that Jack will re-join Mansfield Town in the near future “when the timing is right.”
